CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application is a continuation-in-part application of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 749,343 filed June 27, 1985 .Iadd.now U.S. Pat. No. 4,891,422.Iaddend..

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to compositions of matter, which may be used to purify industrial waste water and other industrial waste liquids, solids or semiliquids, chemicals, demulsification processes, in the pulp and paper industry (e.g. sizing processes, drainage, retention, flotation), mining industry, clay industry or other industries which have a waste water or waste liquid problem.

It is well known that guanidine resins or polymers are of low molecular weight, and have very limited shelf life, in most cases less than 3 months, often only a few days or weeks. Low cationic charge polymers are of limited use in industrial water treatment of potable water. Treatment is very limited, since the free formaldehyde content is high. Most of the products can be used only as coagulants in connection with alum, AlCl₃, FeCl₃, Fe₂ (SO₄)₃ and mixtures of these salts, at a pH of from 6.0 to 9.0.

It has been found that reaction of guanidine, guanidine charged polymers or guanidine alkylamine/alkylamine polymers with inorganic adduct polymers and/or its guanidine derivative polymers alloy with organic alkyl or alkylene polyamine and adducts with inorganic adducts polymers will form very stable multi cationic or anionic polymers which can be used as coagulant and coagulant-flocculants with or without any electrolytes from a pH of 2 to a pH of 13.5.

These products can be used in any kind of industrial waster water, potable water, acid rain water purification, sludge coagulation and solidfications, or dust suppressant applications.

The inorganic-organic adduct polymers are twice as efficient as regular guanidine resins, having a shelf life from at least one year to four years, depending on the composition. The products produce low volume sludges, which relieve large volume disposal problems for the environment.

The invented compositions are made from inorganic polymers in reaction with guanidine polymers and their organic alloy with high nitrogen content compositions of polyamines, polyquaternized polymers, polyamides, and polyamine-polyamide polymers.

The inorganic adduct polymers which are multianions can display the monoactivity charges of (Cl⁻) or 1/2 SO₄ ²⁻ by the multivalent metal anion system generating more active flocculants and/or coagulants.

For instance, if an inorganic adduct polymer such as aluminumhydroxysulfate is reacted with polydiallydimethylammoniumchloride, the chloride anion (Cl⁻) will be displayed by the multi anion, thus: ##STR17## where the dissociation constant (k_(d)) is greater than association constant (k_(a)); ##STR18## where R₁ and R₂ represent hydrogen, methyl and ethyl radicals, R₃ and R₄ each represents alkyl, alkoxyalkyl, hydroxyalkyl radicals having one to 8 carbon atoms and Y represents an anion and 2 complex anions, such as methosulfate, ethosulfate, chlorine, bromine and iodine.

The polyamide and/or polyamine are made by reaction of dibasic carboxylic acid, such as adipic acid, with epsilon caprolactam and/or diethylene triamine and/or polyalyleneamines having C₄ -C₈, and/or by reaction of dibasic carboxylic acid first reacted with polyalkylenepolyamide containing the recurring groups:

(co)polymers of hydrochloride of N,N diallylglycine, polydiallylamine are also incorporated into the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

It is known that guanidine resins can be made either alkaline or acidic in pH. In either case, the products are not of high molecular weight and have a very short pot life. The gelation effect is very common to all of them. The guanidine resins are very sensitive to water, therefore water must be added slowly. It is known that even in the presence of Bronsted or in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst, such as ammonium chloride, ammonium sulfate, and/or ammonium nitrate, very few anions such as chlorine, sulfate and/or nitrate are attracted by the molecule to form stable ammonium type products.

The guanidine polymers and/or resins are made in the pH range from 0.5 to 7.0, but preferably about pH 5.5. These polymers can be made by reacting the guanidine and/or dicyandiamide with urea, ethylene diamine, and/or triethylenetetramine hydrochloride, ammonium chloride, ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, formaldehyde and/or paraformaldehyde, hydrochloric acid. The stable guanidine polymers and/or resins can be made by co-reacting the guanidine monomers and/or dicyandiamide in the presence of mono and/or polyfunctional amines or other HCl salts in the pH range from acid to 9, but preferably about pH 5.5, such as:
